Johani 2

¹Nezuva retatu mutambo wokuwana waivapo paKana yeGarirea; namai vaJesu vakanga varipo.And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

²NaJesu navadzidzi vake vakanga vadamwa vo kumutambo wokuwana.And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

³Waini yakati ichizoshaikwa, mai vaJesu vakati kwaari: Havachine waini.And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

⁴Jesu akati kwavari: Ndineiko nemi, mai? Nguva yangu ichigere kusvika.Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

⁵Mai vake vakati kuvaranda: Itai zvose zvaanokuvudzai.His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

⁶Zvino kwakanga kunamakate matanhatu amabwe, akanga aiswapo netsika yavaJudha yokuzvinatsa, rimwe nerimwe raizadzwa nezviyero zviviri kana zvitatu*And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

⁷Jesu akati kwavari: Zadzai makate nemvura. Ivo vakazadza kusvikira pamiromo.Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

⁸Akati kwavari: Cherai zvino muise kumukuru womutambo. Vakandoisa.And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

⁹Zvino mukuru womutambo wakati aravira mvura yakashanduka waini, asingazivi payabva, (asi varanda, vakanga vachera mvura, vaiziva), mukuru womutambo akadana chikomba,When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

¹⁰akati kwaari: Munhu mumwe nomumwe unositanga abudisa waini yakanaka, neisinganaki kana vamwa kwazvo, asi iwe wachengeta waini yakanaka kusvikira zvino.And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

¹¹Ichi chiratidzo chake chokutanga Jesu wakaita paKana yeGarirea, akaratidza kubwinya kwake; vadzidzi vake vakatenda kwaari.This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

¹²Shure kwaizvozvo wakaburukira Kapernaume, iye namai vake navanun’una, navadzidzi vake; akagarapo mazuva mashomanene.After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

¹³Paseka yavaJudha yakanga yava pedo; zvino Jesu akakwira Jerusarema.And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

¹⁴Akawana mutembere vaitengesa mombe namakwai nenjiva, navaitsinhanha mari, vageremo.And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

¹⁵Akaruka tyava yorwonzi, akabudisa mutembere makwai nemombe zvose; akaparadza mari yavaitsinhanha, nokuwisa matafura avo.And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;

¹⁶Akati kuna vaitengesa njiva: Bvisai zvinhu izvozvo muno; musaita imba yaBaba vangu imba yokutengesera.And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.

¹⁷Vadzidzi vake vakarangarira kuti kwakanyorwa, kuchinzi: Kushingairira imba yenyu kuchandipedza.And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

¹⁸Zvino vaJudha vakapindura, vakati kwaari: Ungatiratidza chiratidzo cheiko, zvaunoita zvinhu izvozvo?Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

¹⁹Jesu akapindura, akati kwaari: Putsai tembere iyi, ini ndichaimutsa zve namazuva matatu.Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

²⁰Zvino vaJudha vakati: Tembere iyi yakavakwa namakore anamakumi mana namatanhatu, zvino iwe ungaimutsa namazuva matatu here?Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

²¹Asi iye wakanga achireva tembere yomuviri wake.But he spake of the temple of his body.

²²Zvino wakati amutswa kuvakafa, vadzidzi vake vakatenda, kuti wakanga areva izvozvo; vakatenda Magwaro neshoko rakangararebwa naJesu.When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

²³Zvino nguva yaakanga ari Jerusarema pamutambo wepaseka, vazhinji vakatenda kuzita rake, vachivona zviratidzo zvaaiita.Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

²⁴Asi Jesu haana kuzviisa mumavoko avo, nokuti wakanga achivaziva vanhu vose.But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

²⁵Wakanga asingatsvaki kuti munhu mumwe apupure zvomunhu; nokuti wakanga achiziva iye zviri mumunhu.And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
